5.04.4215 Ü1 Exercises to Machine Learning II – Advanced Learning and Inference Methods Tuesday: 10:15 - 11:45, weekly (from 18/04/23), Übung

Description:
The students will deepen their knowledge on mathematical models of data and sensory signals. Building up on the previously acquired Machine Learning models and methods, the students will be lead closer to current research topics and will learn about models that currently represent the state-of-the-art. Based on these models, the students will be exposed to the typical theoretical and practical challenges in the development of current Machine Learning algorithms. Typical such challenges are analytical and computational intractabilities, or local optima problems. Based on concrete examples, the students will learn how to address such problems. Applications to different data will teach skills to use the appropriate model for a desired task and the ability to interpret an algorithm’s result as well as ways for further improvements. Furthermore, the students will learn interpretations of biological and artificial intelligence based on state-of-the-art Machine Learning models. Contents: This course builds up on the basic models and methods introduced in introductory Machine Learning lectures. Advanced Machine Learning models will be introduced alongside methods for efficient parameter optimization. Analytical approximations for computationally intractable models will be defined and discussed as well as stochastic (Monte Carlo) approximations. Advantages of different approximations will be contrasted with their potential disadvantages. Advanced models in the lecture will include models for clustering, classification, recognition, denoising, compression, dimensionality reduction, deep learning, tracking etc. Typical application domains will be general pattern recognition, computational neuroscience and sensory data models including computer hearing and computer vision.

5.04.4230 Oberseminar „Journal Club“ Speech Technology and Hearing Aids Thursday: 12:15 - 13:45, weekly (from 13/04/23)

Description:
The participants are actually making a distance from their daily own research thread and implementation towards a wider perspective. They pursue other topics of colleagues and related scientists, which seem to be outside the personal scope or interest, and will yet contribute useful commentary and suggestions. To this, we shall seek literature and pursue intrinsically-motivated study in neighboring and overarching fields of research and education. The results of the study will be grouped systematically and presented in the seminar accordingly. The participants cooperatively work on consensus regarding the scientific merit of publications in terms fundamental relevance or potential utility for own scientific generalization. The themes of the seminar comprise the whole bandwidth of scientific literature on signal processing, machine learning and acoustics with applications in speech technology and hearing aids, for instance, single- and multichannel noise reduction, acoustic sensor networks, digital speech communication, binaural transmission and perception. The graduate participants prove the enhanced perspective obtained by the seminar by enhanced motivation and practice for proposal writing. The undergraduate participants can deliver an oral examination or contribute a formal presentation on a given topic.

5.04.4215 Ü2 Exercises to Machine Learning II – Advanced Learning and Inference Methods Tuesday: 14:15 - 15:45, weekly (from 18/04/23), Übung

Description:
The students will deepen their knowledge on mathematical models of data and sensory signals. Building up on the previously acquired Machine Learning models and methods, the students will be lead closer to current research topics and will learn about models that currently represent the state-of-the-art. Based on these models, the students will be exposed to the typical theoretical and practical challenges in the development of current Machine Learning algorithms. Typical such challenges are analytical and computational intractabilities, or local optima problems. Based on concrete examples, the students will learn how to address such problems. Applications to different data will teach skills to use the appropriate model for a desired task and the ability to interpret an algorithm’s result as well as ways for further improvements. Furthermore, the students will learn interpretations of biological and artificial intelligence based on state-of-the-art Machine Learning models. Contents: This course builds up on the basic models and methods introduced in introductory Machine Learning lectures. Advanced Machine Learning models will be introduced alongside methods for efficient parameter optimization. Analytical approximations for computationally intractable models will be defined and discussed as well as stochastic (Monte Carlo) approximations. Advantages of different approximations will be contrasted with their potential disadvantages. Advanced models in the lecture will include models for clustering, classification, recognition, denoising, compression, dimensionality reduction, deep learning, tracking etc. Typical application domains will be general pattern recognition, computational neuroscience and sensory data models including computer hearing and computer vision.
